Answer 1

John Hughes won in the month a total of $4405

Explanation:

if we have that Jhon earns a salary of $ 2800 and a commission of 7.5% of the sales he made for a value of $ 21400

to know the gain of jhon we have to add the basic salary with the percentage of what he sold

x = 2800 + 21400 * 7.5%

7.5% can be expressed as 7.5/100

x = 2800 + 21400 * 7.5/100

x = 2800 + 21400 * 0.075

x = 2800 + 1605

x = 4405
